Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.
Where And How You Can Work
Alongside our global campuses, we also collaborate with talented contractors from all over the world to help us achieve our crazy big goals. While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role we’re focusing on London so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.
This role is a 6-Month contract, working full-time hours.
What You’d Be Doing In This Role
We’re looking for a creative and highly skilled videographer to bring Canva’s growth marketing content to life across TikTok, Meta, YouTube and other performance channels. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our Europe Marketing team, producing platform-native, thumb-stopping video content that drives awareness and conversions.
You’ll be someone who lives and breathes content; from ideation and storyboarding to shooting, editing and optimising for each platform. You’re fluent in the language of short-form, with a knack for translating local insights into content that grabs attention in the first few seconds and keeps viewers hooked.
We’re after someone who’s as comfortable behind the camera as they are in the edit suite, with a sharp eye for visual storytelling. If you can spot a trend before it peaks, adapt it to our brand voice, and package it into high-performing creative for growth channels - you’re our person. Bonus points if you’re up for starring in front of the camera too.
What You’ll Do
- Shoot and edit high-quality, platform-native short-form videos for TikTok, Meta, YouTube, and other growth marketing channels
- Plan and execute shoots end-to-end — from ideation, storyboarding, and scripting to lighting, audio, and framing
- Collaborate with the growth creative squad and cross-functional marketing team to translate local insights into high-performing creative
- Capture supplementary b-roll, behind-the-scenes, and stills for multi-channel use
- Optimise content for brand consistency, platform best practices, and both awareness and conversion goals
- Regularly iterate and evolve content outputs based on ongoing performance insights
- Keep on top of emerging trends, formats, and platform features
What We're Looking For
- Proven track record creating high-performing short-form videos for TikTok, Meta, and YouTube
- Expert videography skills; confident in camera operation, lighting, audio, and shot composition
- Strong editing skills and open to using different software including Canva Video
- Deep understanding of platform best practices and how to optimise content for both conversions
- Ability to turn local market insights and trends into content that resonates with target audiences
- Comfortable managing the entire production process from concept to final export
- Data-informed mindset, with experience testing creative variations and iterating based on performance insights
- Highly collaborative, working seamlessly with creative, marketing, and cross-functional teams
- Organised, self-motivated, and proactive in spotting and acting on content opportunities
